history to find out when and
where shorthand reporting was f 1 rs t In
troduced. Kven before (he days of print

shorthand reporting lalled the Tyronean
method, from Tyro, a frecdman. who was
one of Cicero's most expert writers. That
even at that euriy date systems of short
hand writing stenography came Into gen
eral use for certain purpones, and that
the methods were very effective, we may
Infer from a pnKURe In Horace., who. when
aJdrettslng a nhortlmnd writer, says: 'You
write In such a manner that you will have
no oecaalon In four whole years to ask
for another sheet or parchment.'
"Julius Caesar, biddmg for popularity In
hlH first consulate, cauwd the proceedings
of the Roman senate to be published dully,
and these report were taken down by
trained writers, who were called tabular!!,
being what we today style reporters. These
reporters were probably only rapid writers
using the ordinary characters. The reports
were revised and edited before their ex

Just the same aa the Congressional Uecord
Is now sent to the constituents of members
of our congress. Prior to this time the
great annals of the lawmakers were writ
ten on tablet and placed in a room of the
pontiff, where they were accexHible to the
public. The people hud to go to the 'news
peper,' and It was not delivered at their
homes as now. This room of the pontiff
was a general reading room, reminding
one of the periodical room of the Con
gressional library.
"Why the ancients had no printing
presses It has been difficult for students to

heavy and growing demand for reading
matter. It was not until the malprl.l nr
wilting changed that there was much
progress In the matter or threading Hie
news, Tho decalogue was written upon
tablets or stone; the Athenian record, now
known as the 'Parian Chronicle,' was en
graved upon tablets of marble, and next wa
find Inscriptions on thin plates or metal and
on the broad leaves of certain plants, 1 on
sheets formed of woven texture from the
bark of trees and on the skins of animals.
Theae heavy and cumbrous volumes' were
aa difficult to handle as the Iron money im
posed upon the Spartans.
"The Assyrians cams nearer to tho print
ing press than did the Egyptians, for they
discovered and practiced a method or rap
Idly multiplying their writings, using en
graved seals, consisting of cylinders rrotn
which any number of Impressions could be
made. Naturally Intellectual advancement
was rapid with ths Introduction of 'circu
lating documents, books and papers,' ,tor
the reading class was then only 'the
wealthy, even In the best days or Roman
civilization. The assembled intellect heard
the news at the Olympian games and In ths
Atheniiui theater.
"Cicero's shorthand reporters were the
beginning or ths stenographic art, without
which we could not get along very well In
this age of newspaperlng. Cicero's plan
culled only for the taking down and copy
ing of the proceedings or the twnate by edu
cated xlaves and these copies were sent out
Cicero worked on the same plan of gaining
popularity ns do the staleamen who send
out the Congressional Record, public docu
ments and garden seeds, and he was un
uucxtlonably a pretty shrewd politician It

Rluven as were the writers and uhorthund
reporters or these days. True we have
rrequently long hours and laborious work,
but one or our profetmion will earn more
ln a single dav than did the ancient re
porters In a whole year. It was, unques
tionably, the system or slavery which was
the bane or ancient civilization and the
primary cause or Its ruin. Capital owned
labor; therefore labor was cheap and with
out dignity. Authors dined upon rarities
costing thousands of dollars ln the case or
a single meat, while his slaves who pro
duced his books were nearly starved. The
only cost Involved In the production or a
book was the sustenance or the Bervile
writers and embellishers. Publication was
carried on Just as a plantation was worked
la the days before the war. The largest
books, with the most beautiful and ex
pensive bindings, could be produced at a
rar lees cost In dollars and cents than they
can be made in this day. And the same
reasons which prevented modern Improve
ments In the old slave-holding states pre
vented the introduction of the printing
press as an organ of ancient civilization.
"Atticua. a Roman bihilophilfst. trained
a large number of slaves to the especial
duty of merely transcribing. There were
nve readers for each one hundred trained
writers In different apartments and 60)
copies of a short poem or small book could
be produced rapidly and at little cost, leas
by far than the boasted powers of the presi
with all our modern appliances In the
art or printing. These shorthand slaves
csuld produce in twelve hours SUo copies of
a poem equal In extent to Tennyson's
Enoch Arden' and its accompanying poems
and ror this work they received one pound
or a kind of common cors each, with a
umall allowance or wine. This kind or
reed' would- not go with stenographers or
the preeent day. We have a ralr and
healthy scale or prices ror our work and
we receive It or we don't work."-Washington

Speed in a Balloon
A sample of what tiaveiers by the air
route may expect whs furnished when two
Oerman ueronauts ascended from Berlin ln
a balloon last Thursday and after a peril
ous ride landed near Calais, Just as they
were about to be swept to sea, on Friday
nornlng.
In some eighteen hours the balloon was
driven a net distance of MO tiltea, but prob
ably actually traveled more than iwice
that distance, buffeted ba k and forth by
conflicting currents. In rhe end It struck
ths great gale raging along ths channel
and was driven at a speed as high at times
as 120 miles an hour.
There Is something uncanny in tra'-elins;
at great speed In a balloon. No matter how
violent the gale, the aeronaut himself ! In
dead calm. Traveling literally with the
speed of tho wind, the wildest tempest la
to him still nlr; only by looking down and
seeing the landscape whiz past can he esti
mate his speed, and then It seems as if
the earth were slipping from under him.
